Les,, When I lived in Atlanta (2000-2007) Croatia 1134 (now silent), The Saudi on 1521, and Absolute Radio, England 1215 were the best I heard. However, I had TA's on long wave more often. France 162 was best, but Algeria 153, and England 198 (with beacon QRM) began to show in November. Brock Ireland

Mostly in the Caribbean, and South America. But after reading about DX'ers as far inland as Oklahoma having some success with TA receptions--I'm wondering if I dismissed this too quickly? Lots of questions: 1.) Is it possible or likely that I could receive TA's here in Central Alabama? 2.) What would be the best target stations to start with? I'm assuming that Radio Farda 1575 might be a good one? What others? 3.) Best time of day to start looking for them? 4.) Optimum mode and bandwidth to look using an SDR-IQ? Any other advice for someone brand-new to the effort? -- 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF Maylene, AL EM63 Member NRC, IRCA, & Medium Wave DX Circle Former CPC Chairman for NRC/IRCA SDR-IQ,Funcube Pro, Wellbrooke ALA-1530+ loop, LF Engineering Active Whips, Quantum Phaser, Kiwa Loop, Palstar MW Pre-Selector _______________________________________________ The NRC AM mailing list Questions?
